Tuli game reserve wished to build a tented
lodge to rent out to family, friends and
tourists. It was to be dynamic in form,
sensitive to nature, and sit comfortably
on the slope of a hill enabling full view of
the spectacular landscape and exotic birds in the area.

The proposed communal building bridges
two sides of a small valley with a brook
running through it. It contains a kitchen,
dining room, lounge and washroom. Six
sleeping units are dispersed on either
side of the slope, connected by a raised
boardwalk. The roof and walls are made
of two layers of canvas, supported on
a timber frame. The structure sits on a
concrete slab resting on pillars, lessening
its footprint and impact.
